Order Entry/Order Management - Priority Weightings Folder

• The weights assigned in the 'Stock Allocation Priority' section on this folder are used with the value assigned to the Customer in the 'Stock Allocation Priority' field in Maintain Customer Master (SU13/Info).

• The weights assigned in the remaining fields are added to the 'Stock Allocation Priority' weight.

• Note: A '1' represents the highest priority, a '2' represents a medium priority and so on.

• Valid entries for stock allocation priorities are 1 to 99.

The following list defines every field on the Priority Weightings folder:

• In the 'Stock Allocation Priority' section:
  • Enter a weight (number) into the following fields:
    • High
    • Medium
    • Low

  • The weight entered here is applied to the 'Stock Allocation Priority' assigned to the Customer in SU13/Info. If for example, the Customer is given a Stock Allocation Priority of Medium in SU13, and the Stock Allocation Priority defined in CC00 is High = 1, Medium = 2 and Low =3, then the Customer has a Stock Allocation Priority of 2.

• Priority Order? No - this field determines the weight applied to Sales Orders that do not have the 'Priority Order' check box selected in OE30/General. If, for example, the Sales Order from OE30 is not a Priority Order, and the 'Priority Order? No' is set to 5, we know that a weight of 5 is added to the Sales Order.

• Last Shipment? No - this field determines the weight applied to Sales Orders that have not reached the calculated Last Shipment Date. In order to determine whether or not a Sales Order has reached its Last Shipment Date, the Customer is set up to not accept Back Orders and/or the date is not nearing the Cancellation Date (both from the Sales Order in OE30).

  If, for example, the Customer does not accept Back Orders (OE30/General) or the calculated Order Cancellation Date has not yet been reached, and the 'Last Shipment? No' is set to 5, we know that a weight of 5 is added to the Sales Order.

• Delinquent? Yes - this field determines the weight applied to Sales Orders for delinquent Customers. This weight is only applied to Customers meet the following criteria:
  • The number of days entered in the 'Delinquency Days' field (SU13/OE/AR) has been exceeded.
    AND
    
  • The 'Apply Delinquency Weight' check box is selected (SU13/Info).

  If, for example, the Customer is set up to include the priority for Delinquency in SU13/Info, but our Customer is not Delinquent, and the 'Delinquent? Yes' is set to 5, we know that a weight of zero is added to the Sales Order.

• Over Credit Limit? Yes' - this field determines the weight applied to Sales Orders for Customers over the Credit Limit assigned in the 'Credit Limit' field of SU13/OE/AR. This weight is only applied to Customers with the 'Apply Credit Limit Weight' check box selected in (SU13/Info).

  If, for example, the Customer is set up to include the priority for Over Credit Limit in SU13, but our Customer is not over their Credit Limit and 'Over Credit Limit? Yes' is set to 5, we know that the weight of zero is added to the Sales Order.

• Note: Following each example given, the Sales Order has a weight of 12:

  Stock Allocation Priority		2
  Priority Order		5
  Last Shipment		5
  Delinquent		0
  Over Credit Limit		0
  Total		12
